Dance

Tonight I went to an elementary school dance. There were several hundred people in the gym. Students were given a glow stick and a foam rod that had lights inside. The gym was dark, the music was loud, and a disco ball shined above. Some people were dancing near the speakers. The loudness made it impossible to converse.  Kids were throwing balloons in the air or popping them.  Most of the kids had dressed up. Offspring #1 and I dressed up too but most parents didn't. In the hallways there was a cafeteria room where they offered popcorn, pretzels and goldfish crackers plus water to drink. In another room 8 volunteers applied temporary tattoos or face paint. My grandgirls found friends to hang with and we didn't see them most of the night. They were wearing floor length dressed and lipstick. We were there for an hour but that was more than enough time for me.
